[ST25i] Can't get rid of transcendence kernel - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hi guys,
I'm always experimenting with my U, but this time it happened something strange.
After one of my many tests i reflashed transcendence kernel and when i was about to leave recovery it asked me if i would like to make sure that other recovery didn't reflashed after reboot automatically and i said yes.
The problem is that now i can't get rid of this kernel!!
I enter recovery and flash another kernel, everything ok, but after i reboot i still have the old transcendece kernel.
Already relocked bootloader and flashed stock fw with sony pc suite and unlocked again and nothing, the damn kernel is still there!!!
What can i do? Anyone knows what this is?
:crying:

Mods can close this thread.
Problem solved.
Answer: Recovery got retained, hence the bootlogo is always the same. Flash new recovery to solve it.

can't mount in recovery and kernel panics

Hello,
Today I thought, let's try out ICS! Found this guide (can't post outer links, search for "android advices ICS Android 4.0.1 XXKP2 " in google), and used it to update my phone to ICS.
Well, after trying out the rom, I would like to go back to my MIUI backup, rooted it, installed clockworkmod recovery and booted up the recovery mode. The recovery said "can't mount /cache/*" for all cache folders. So I couldn't restore my backup.
After reading some stuff I installed a recovery through Odin. Worked like a charm, no alerts of mounting failures. Restored my backup, but when it was rebooting it gave an "Kernel Panic - Upload mode" screen. Couldn't do anything, so put the battery out and back in.
After this I installed ICS again with the same steps as in the guide. This worked! Rooted and installed recovery again, no problems so far. Tried a fresh install of MIUI but with the same problems.
So I can flash ICS but I can't flash any other rom, what can be the problem?
Every help and tips are welcome!
Thanks in advance!
Same thing happened to me last nite, kernel panic, and im panic too. This happened after flashing that cm9 coz i just wanna try and see how cm9 look like and i know im not going to stick with it, just for trying. Now im back to miui.
What i did is i flashed back to stock rom, root, then flash miui, or any rom that you want. Very simple.
Rom : MIUI ICS XGT 'EXTENDED'
Kernel : Xcell-69X
Modem : XXKP8

I have the same problem I guess, tried ICS, went back to stock which I was using. Got Kernel panic upload mode several times, solution for this was flashing an older 2.3.6 version.
After this no more kernel panics...
But I can't flash any custom roms anymore.
My phone's working luckily but it doesn't work like it's supposed to

Thats not true my friend, you flash any custom rom. Nothing need to worry about.
Rom : samsung stock firmware
Kernel : stock kernel
Modem : stock modem

Did you make sure to flash back the old GB bootloaders? Restoring a backup wont flash them back.

Stuck, need help

I rooted my rezound and flashed a rom with no problems. Today I tried flashing a different rom and I have been unable to start my phone since. I can get into recovery, wipe, flash etc.. but nothing I've tried has gotten my phone to boot. I've tried Awesome Recovery Tool-> Touchscreen based PH98IMG Creator for MainVer which isn't helping and I don't know what else to do. The last message I saw in hboot was something about the main version is older. Can someone please help me get my phone to boot please
This worked well for me:

the problem u were having has to do with kernels.
when u first tried flashing a different rom, were u going to ics from gb or gb from ics?
gb roms and ics roms have different kernel.
"fastboot flash boot boot.img" then boot into recovery
and flash the rom was the right call.
just wanted to let u know this.

[Q] Flashed ROM stuck in boot animation

I tried flashing the latest FXP CM9 ROM on my X10, but it got stuck right at the SE orb. I've tried flashing multiple times but the error is always the same.
There are two files, one with kernel and one without. I suppose I should install the one with the kernel and so I did via Flashtool. For some reason though, I can't seem to get the Flashtool to install CWM to try the other version without the kernel. I wasn't able to ask for root perms either despite the phone having root. Any idea?

For FXP CM9 you need unlocked bootloader for starters as described here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1253277 Follow carefully as if you mess it up u can perma break your signal, you then need the latest FXP Kernel for the ROM which is provided in the package from FXP, Install the Kernel boot into CWM5 and then install ROM also make sure your on BB .71 i believe although dont quote me on that.
You shouldnt have any SE Splash logo or orb logo, should be FXP logo and CM9 boot ani.
Good Luck hope you get there in end!

Stuck booting after flashing MIUI ICS over GB

Hey,
I wanted to update my Gingerbread MIUI and picked an ICS version cause I didn't look properly.
Now I'm stuck at the xiaomi logo and also can't get into recovery to do anything.
Is there a way to fix this?
I appreciate your help guys!

No recovery (assuming you're not pressing the wrong key combo) = flash stock rom in Odin to get a 'clean slate'. Then you can re-root your phone & try Miui again if you're still game.
sounds like
it sounds like you never deleted all data, dalvek cache or reset phone before you installed new rom.
just a thought
its aslo usefull to install rom, when finished while in rec. mode find fix permissions, clickn run, reboot then.
THEN istall updated gapps recommended in rom thread (if rom doesn't have gapps (google apps) preinstalled, romthread will tell you)and repeat fix perm. clickn reboot. dont make the mistake of doing it All at once ive found this helps

Yeah, and don't forget to do a factory/data reset after u flashed any ROM, custom or stock. If you do that the phone wont get stuck on the boot screen(S logo). Happened to me xD

Bootloader decided to divorce. Could you help me getting it back?

Hello,
I have a huge issue with my Z2. A month ago, I decided to try MIUI, after being bored by CM. And like a complete 'tard, I also downloaded DooMKernel because why not. New rom, new kernel, more ways to tweak my phone ! yay !
But no. I misread DooMLorD post, and didn't saw that it was ONLY for stock roms.
I discovered that after seeing my Z2 stuck in bootloop... wat.
So, I reflashed my previous CM11 rom (original ZIP, not a backup, via CWM). And it worked. But the bootloader decided to magically disappear. wat².
At the time, I didn't bother because I was in a rush (I am really stupid) and because, you know, if it works, don't fix it.
But as I write that lines, my phone won't send or receive messages, and have a HHUUUUUGE battery drain (Google Play Services making CPU run @100% all the time).
So I tried to install TWRP via their app, which is crashing at launch (my ROM is really, really f*cked up).
I don't know what to do.
Flashing a stock rom with Flashtool? Will it hardbrick my device as I unlocked my bootloader?
If needed, I have my TA backup.
If you could help me to get a recovery back, that would be highly appreciable.
Thanks !
if you are on unlocked bootloader, this should do it :
- flash stock ftf using flashtools
- flash @AndroPlus kernel using fastboot
- boot into recovery with vol down or up button (one is twrp other is cwm)
from here you can flash CM back and reboot the rom, once you fully boot go back to CM recovery and restore your backup.
good luck, good thing you have a backup before all the mess happened.
Thanks ! It worked.
I had to flash the kernel before the .ftf because Flashtool was giving me a error message.
But I now have a bootloader !
Many many thanks.
